1/72 Trumpeter Russian Su-33UB Flanker D – 01669

The Su-33UB is a two-seat trainer/strike version of the Su-33 naval deck fighter. Trainer features the general “integral triplane layout” of the latest Sukhoi aircraft. It has a side-by-side cockpit similar to the Su-34 strike aircraft but has the ’round’ nose of its naval predecessor. Su-33UB also has a completely new, larger (by 1/3) wing, providing 15–20% range increase and low landing speed. A side-by-side arrangement for trainers was chosen to provide the naval pilots with the “feeling of a friend’s elbow” and to reduce the workload on the crew. It will also reduce workload during combat missions, where the pilot sits “elbow-to-elbow” with a weapons officer.
